Mr. Hansen asked if other applicants to the CIC would be considered for the openings. Ms. Schue said that it could be assumed, based on general practice. e Mr. Hansen said interviewing only those applicants already on the committee defeated the issues of citizen involvement. Mr. Obie said that it had been decided during the discussion of the Planning Commission applicants that other individuals beyond the incumbents would be considered if it were found necessary. Mayor Keller said he had often reappointed those individuals who had served well on a commission or board. He said the opportunity was there to consider other applicants. He said the interview process performed earlier with the Planning Commission applicants worked extremely well and should be continued. Ms. Wooten asked if the councilors had already prepared their ballots noting those to be interviewed. Ms. Schue suggested that the council interview the three incumbents to the CIC. Roll call vote; the motion carried 7:1, Councilors Schue, Obie, Ball, Lindberg, Smith, Holmer, and Wooten voting aye; Mr. Hansen voting nay. G. Appointment to the Downtown Commission Councilor Obie questioned whether Ada Lee qualified as an applicant for the Downtown Commission. Mr. Holmer clarified that Ms. Lee did qualify based on the location of her business in the downtown area. H. Parting Comments Councilor Lindberg, in his last meeting with the council, thanked the staff for e their support. He commented that the councilors had developed an atmosphere of consensus and of rational, open decision making. He said he had tried to remain open but recognized that it was not always possible. 1- Emergency Food Services Councilor Wooten said the Budget Committee had informally voted the previous evening to recommend an allocation from the Civic Emergency Fund to assist the Christmas Food Baskets Program. She said the allocation would be included in the Supplemental Budget later in the agenda. She stated that Pat Lynch had taken a survey of services provided and had obtained the following limited figures for 1983: FISH and Salvation Army 363,528 meals served to 36,720 individuals Eugene Mission 159,000 meals served (a 17% increase) She said the figures were not definitive in that staff had not contacted Meals- on-Wheels, the Senior Nutrition Sites, Gatherers and Gleaners, and other service agencies.
